Gender fluidity “conveys a wider, more flexible range of gender expression, with interests and behaviors that may even change from day to day. Gender fluid [people] do not feel confined by restrictive boundaries of stereotypical expectations of girls or boys. In other words, a child may feel like they are a girl some days and a boy on others, or possibly feel that neither term describes them accurately the next.” A person who experiences gender fluidity may identify as genderfluid, or they may identify with another nonbinary term.

Agender describes someonw who “does not identify with any gender” or is “without gender”.

Bigender refers to someone who “feels or exhibits two genders”. Those genders can be male, female, or nonbinary gender identities. You can identify with both genders simultaneously, or experience gender fluidity and bounce back and forth periodically.

To copy queer dictionary’s definitions, genderqueer is “gender identity that generally refers to not identifying as male/female and/or as a man or woman. It’s possible for someone to identify as multiple genders, so identifying as genderqueer does not mean you do not or cannot identify as something else. It is a specific identity but is sometimes also incorrectly used as an umbrella term for non-binary (read: people who are not just men or women) gender identities. Some people prefer to just use the word genderqueer to describe their identity, some non-binary people don’t care for the term genderqueer to describe them (even in an umbrella sense) for a variety of reasons (use of the word “queer” which may implicate subversion when no identity is actually intrinsically subversive, potential political connotations, etc.).

Someone does not have to look androgynous in order to identify as genderqueer.

People often mistake genderqueer to mean that someone identifies as a point “in between” male/female and/or man/woman; it is often used as though it were synonymous with androgynous. Someone who identifies as genderqueer may identify as these things, but androgynous and genderqueer are not the same thing.”

There are other identities, but this covers the ones you were asking about specifically.

These are just somewhat standardized definitions you can find floating around via google. Not all nonbinary individuals use the terms in the same way, and that’s important to note.
